Nine. Caroline Popp has just com
pleted her fftieth year as editress of
the chief Liberal paper in Flanders
the journal de Bruges. She entered
upon her office the 4th of April, 1887.
and has remained at the post (not
without many difficultiesl for the last
fifty years. Thus her editorship is
only seven years younger than the
independence of Belgium as a State.
Mime. Popp has earned some distinc-
ton in her native land as novelist
and story-teller. Her nathalie" and
her Legends and Tales of Flanders"
have been translated into German.
The South Australian Registers re-
turns in connection with the wheat
harvest in that colony show that the
net increase of cultivated land is 20
900 acres, the total area being 1897
900 acres, yielding 10,S35, 900 bushels,
or 5 bushels 81 pounds per acre. After
deducting 100000 bushels for seed
and 1872, 500 bushels for food the sur
plus for export is estimated at 7,1O3.-
500 bushels, OF 10000 shipping tons.
This is $4,000 tons more than last
years exports, but 130,00 tons less
than in 1885. The two last seasons
together did not yield as much as in
1884 and 1885 by $4,000 tons. If each
of the last two seasons had been equal
to those Of 1884 and 1885 the colony
would have been richer by "a, 500, 600.

NapoIeon's Legacy to France.

Between 1904 and 1915 he has had
slaughtered more than LOO, 900
Frenchmen born within the boundaries
of ancient France, to which must be
added, probably, 1000, 900 of men born
out of these limits, and all for him.

France shorn of fifteen departments
acquired by the public, deprived of
Savoy, the left bank of the Rhine, and

of new Frenchmen which it had as

Who Said Them?

Who wrote the letters of Junius?
1t is generally conceded that Sir Philip
Francis did, but there is no certainty
about it. 1t has been well said, how
ever, that the time spent in trying to
find out who Junius was would be
better expended in learning to write
as well as Junius wrote.
ssGod tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" was long believed to be from
the scriptures. But Sterne wrote it in.
his Sentimental Journey"
This is the time when these ques
tions come up like Banquo's ghost
(''Macbeth," scene 2, act I'D, and
will not 'down" until traced to their
proper lineage.
A correspondent asks: ''Who orig

came up here in Detroit some five
years ago. A lady riding in a Cass
avenue horse-car asked another lady
if she knew. Then gentleman offer

low of Edinburgh college, and, taking
the address of the lady, he gave his
own. In the course of some months
the letter came, and DR.. Samuel Leg
gett copied this part of it into his
Webster's Dictionary of quotations,
where it is recorded in his fine, schol-
arly handwriting:

prayers for prosperous journey. The
bishop blessed him and gave him pot
of oil, saying: ''Remembcc that you

on the sea.
This has nothing to do with that ia

This couplet was written by Gay
and used by many of the English
bards.
There is another popular quotation
which has been run to the ground re-
Gently:
| TITS folly to be wise
This was written by the poet Gray
in poem on Eton college.
..When Greek meets Greek, then
comes the tug of war; is popular
misquotation from when Greeks
Joined Greeks, then was the tug of
war;" written by n. Lee, who died in
1892.
The majority of readers will insist
that cleanliness is next to goodness"
is in the bible, but it is not. John
Wesley said in this wise: Certainly
this is duty, not sin; cleanliness IS,
indeed, next to goodness" From whom
did he quote?- Detroit Free Press.

They have gone to the city beyond the hills;
They must never come back to this place

1t is only one summer that she's been here;
1t has been my home for seventeen years.
And seventeen summers of happy bloom
Fall dead tonight in rain of tears.
1t is dark, all dark in the midnight shades;
Father in heaven, may have rest?
One hour of rest for this aching head?
For this throbbing heart in my weary
breast?
loved him more than she understand
For him prayed for my soul in truth;
For him i am kneeling with lifted hands
TO lay at his feet my shattered youth.
i loved, and love-I love him still
More than father, mother, or life
Ny hope of hope was to bear his name,
My heaven of heavens to be his wifeI
His wife!-the name that angels breathe
Inc words shall not crimson my cheek with
TWould have been my glory that name to
wreathe
In the princely heart from whence it came;
And the kiss gave to the bride tonight
His bride till life and light grow dim
600 only knows how pressed her lips,
That the kiss to her be given to him!

A Congressman Abroad.

| heard a good story to-day about
an ex-congressman from New jersey
VINO recently made tour through
Europe with party of friends. When
he got to Paris he sought out the Amer
lean legation and burst in on the sec
rotary IN charge at the time, in 3 cow
ering rage.
He complained to the secretary in
very violent language that he had been
robbed by the railway officials They
mad refused to let him or his party out
at the depot when they arrived in
Paris, without the payment of very
considerable number of francs He
thought 1t an outrage that a distin-
| gulshed American or his friends could
not travel through France without
| paying tribute to brigands. He wanted
the secretary of the legation to write
at once to the president of the railway
demanding the instant return of the
money he had been unwarrautably
compelled to pay.
Tell him who / am" he said. land
he'll come down promptly with the
ducatS-francs, [ mean"
Then the secretary, first soothing
him with sympathetic expressions.
drew from him some facts which he
had omitted to state.
Yes, he had surrendered his railway
ticket. His friends had surrendered
theirs
And yes, he had received a small
piece of green paper in exchange.
Yes. it had some printing on it. but
it was French nonsense of some sort
gibberish; he couldn't make head or
tail of it.
What did you do with it?" asked
the secretary.
"Why, threw it out of the win
dow" he replied. Il didn't want it:
some French trash, anyway. Then.
when | got to Paris, and we started to
walk out of the depot, just as we do at
home, by George! they stopped us, ana
wouldn't let us 90 out because we
didn't have that Internal piece of green
paper
ut took me half an hour to find OUT
what they wanted, for none of them
could speak English, and / couldn't
understand their gibberish. But /
finally made out that they wanted that
piece OF paper or the money told you
out, SO | handed over the money"
The secretary understood it all then.
He told the distinguished son of New
Jersey that he would make the re-
CURED demand upon the railway COM
pany at once, and SO sent him happily
to his hotel
Then he sat down and made the best
story he could out of it, in letter to
the president of the railway.
The latter replied in a politely sar-
castle note, inclosing the money in
question, expressing his regret at the
occurrence, and winding up with an
expression of his sympathy with the
constituency represented in the Amer
lean congress by such man as the
statesman from New Jersey.
The secretary of legation, of course,
returned the money with the express
sion of regret, but, not with 81, t.--ass-
preston OF sympathy. = Philadelphia

A curious relic was discovered a few
days ago near Phoenix, Arizona, by a
farmer while digging well on his
ranch. At about nine feet below the
surface he came upon the skeleton of
man, the bones of which, however,
fell to pieces when he attempted to
move them. He has no doubt that
this prehistoric citizen was a giant, as
the thigh bones were nearly four feet
long and the feet were more extensive
than those of the proyerbial ST. Louis
girl. Under the body was large and
heavy war club, made from mesquite
or iron wood, and this was in state
of perfect preservation. 1t is now on
exhibition.

GIadstone's Physical Strength.

To return moment to Mr.. Glad
stone. A medical gentleman who
knows him very professionally,
too, if / am not mistaken-tells me
that he is still one of the strongest
men physically in the whole gentry of
England. 1t is a marvellous thing to
see him stripped to the waist, so SUI
perb is his frame, so notable is the
absence of an ounce of superfous
flesh on the hard sinews and muscles.
Nv informant added that, in his be-
lief, there was scarcely man in the
House, young or old, whom Gladstone
could not whip with his fists if he
tried. This is an interesting illustra-
ton of the value of exercise which
Americans would do web to ponder
